Jan., 1920] New North American Tingidce 53 



Two specimens; type, Mt. Diablo, California, July 15, 1918, 

 in my collection. Allied to nigrina, but readily separated from 

 it by antenna and carinae; differing from vidua Van Duzee 

 by much shorter third antennal segment, etc. According to 

 Van Duzee^ the third antennal segment of vidua is nearly 

 three times the length of fourth. 



Teleonemia novicia new species. 



Antennae brown, a little longer and more slender than in nigrina- 

 Champ., clothed with short hairs, first segment a little stronger and 

 shorter than the second; third segment almost twice the length of the 

 fourth. Rostrum not quite reaching the meso-metasternal suture, the 

 rostral laminae widely separated on the mesostemum. Pro thorax rather 

 finely punctured, slightly and obtusely produced anteriorly, not densely 

 pubescent, tricarinate, each carina thin, parallel, faintly raised, the 

 areolce barely distinct; paranota very narrow, turned back against the 

 surface of the pronotum, the areola becoming distinct anteriorly. Last 

 abdominal segment in the female with a rather prominent, pilose some- 

 what kidney-shaped protuberance on each side, the protuberance not 

 long like in nigrina. Elytra with the margins nearly straight, only 

 moderately constricted beyond the middle, apex broadly rounded; 

 costal area very narrow, the areolate elongate; subcostal area mostly 

 biseriate, the areolae small; discoidal area not deeply impressed, the 

 areolae small and slightly larger than those of the subcostal area; sutural 

 area with large areolae. Length, 4 mm. ; width, 1.2 mm. 



Disc of pronotuin reddish brown, paranota, carinae, and distal por- 

 tion of triangular process yellowish brown. Antennae and legs brown, 

 the tibiae becoming fiavous anteriorly. Body beneath dark brown, 

 slightly tinged with ferrugineous. 



Two specimens, Oriocle, California, July 11. Type in my 

 collection. Allied to T. nigrina Champion, but readily separ- 

 ated from it by the more slender and longer antennal. 



Teleonemia haytiensis new species. 



Antennae reaching to a little beyond the base of elytra, moderately 

 slender, sparsely and minutely pubescent, the third segment two and 

 one-third times as long as the fourth. Pronotum distinctly tricarinate, 

 rather coarsely punctured, projecting angularly over base of hood; 

 paranota uniseriate, not quite reflexed back against the pronotrun; 

 carinae slightly more foliaceous than in scrupulosa Stal, uniseriate, the 

 areolae large, mostly rectangular, the median carina quite strongly 

 raised anteriorly. Rostrum reaching between the middle coaxae. Body 

 beneath, pronottun and portion of elytra (subcostal and discoidal areas.
